The battery is what allows the computer to turn on without being plugged into the wall. If your laptop does not turn on or does not stay on for very long when it is unplugged, then the battery may need to be replaced. The goal of this guide is to show how to remove and replace a faulty battery. It is also a pre-requisite guide for other guides that require you to open up your laptop. The battery is the largest internal piece of the laptop, and is easy to locate when the device is opened up. For this guide, a plastic opening tool and a Phillips #0 screwdriver will be utilized.
